Challenge
As ShoeCrew Water Projects grew, so did the scope of their initiatives, from providing clean water through creative fundraising to offering global education on water scarcity. However, their outdated website could no longer support their evolving mission.
The site lacked the functionality to effectively engage their expanding audience of donors, educators, and partners. Navigational challenges, outdated design, and limited internal management capabilities hindered their ability to share their impact story and attract further support.
As a nonprofit, ShoeCrew also faced budget constraints, making it difficult to find a marketing and development team capable of meeting their needs without exceeding their financial limits. They needed an innovative partner to deliver a strategic, cost-effective solution tailored to their unique challenges.
Solution
Technology Partners collaborated with ShoeCrew to design a comprehensive plan for their website relaunch, focusing on functionality, usability, and alignment with their organizational vision.
Key actions included:
- Strategic Visioning: Conducted detailed workshops with ShoeCrew’s leadership to understand their goals and assess their internal capabilities.
- Custom Website Design: Developed a modern, visually appealing website that conveyed ShoeCrew’s mission and initiatives effectively.
- User-Friendly CMS Implementation: Introduced an intuitive Content Management System (CMS) that enabled ShoeCrew’s team to independently update and manage content post-launch.
- Team Training: Provided in-depth training for the ShoeCrew team, empowering them to maintain and grow the site without external assistance.
This approach ensured that ShoeCrew received a tailored solution that balanced professional execution with affordability and sustainability.
Results
The new website, built on an easy-to-use CMS platform, became a cornerstone of ShoeCrew’s expanded mission. The refreshed design highlighted the nonprofit’s impact stories, making it easier to engage donors and partners while amplifying their advocacy efforts.
The CMS empowered ShoeCrew’s internal team to manage content efficiently, reducing reliance on external support and enabling timely updates. This capability proved invaluable as the organization launched new initiatives and campaigns.
By leveraging WordPress, we provided ShoeCrew with a powerful yet cost-effective solution, overcoming technical limitations to deliver a site that is both flexible and easy to manage. This platform not only meets their current needs but also positions them for future growth and innovation.
